Weather on 2 October consisted generally of low clouds varying from
3-5, 000 feet with tops of 6-10,000 feet. Coverage was less than 5/10.
During the 24-hour period starting at 1800(KT), 2 October, Korea was

period. (FEAF) (SECRET)
2. Enemy Situation:
Enemy groups stubbornly resisted UN advances west of Chorwon and
made seven attacks of platoon to reinforced battalion strength against UN
positions north of Hwachon. Other attacks, northeast of Pia, forced a slight
withdrawal. Sporadic artillery fire with VT fuses fell on 3d US Infantry
Division positions near Chorwon. A minefield was encountered eight miles
west of Yonchon, in the 1st British Commonwealth Division sector. The
adjusted total of vehicle sightings for 1-2 October is 3,911, of which 2, 704
were moving south. (FECOM) (SECRET)
3. United Nations Situation:
ARMY:
a. General: UN forces attacked in the western sector and gained
up to six miles in the area west and north of Yonchon. Two to three mile ad-
vances were made in the Kumhwa area. Slight gains were made west of
Chorwon against stubborn enemy resistance. Strong enemy attacks north
of Hwachon were repulsed, and UN forces counterattacked northeast of Pia
after an earlier withdrawal. Elsewhere, UN patrols continued to seek out
hostile strong points and defensive positions. (FECOM) (SECRET)
